Dog Eating Chump

hello all! my name is earthdeep (28, white british, autistic, half giant lesbian/half amorphous void, pronouns she/her/her or they/them/their).

[innerchildabortionclinic]

Do you threaten murder on everyone who gives you book recommendations?

it was ayn rand...

[earthdeep]

hm. I see every romanced companion is gonna have this forced pre-tearstone island fight. ngl it made more sense with taash than it does emmrich.

and once again it would be much more engaging to navigate this argument if the available options didn't feel like rolling a gd dice!

[earthdeep]

I feel like it's weird that davrin/harding gets sent off on their own. I get it's for Meaningful Choice reasons, but you'd think we'd just split the team in half.

[earthdeep]

why does pressing the sad crying eye with "I'm sorry" written on it lead to rook completely justifying the actions they took and not apologising to neve at all?

rook what the fuck is wrong with you?!

[earthdeep]

"whatever it takes, that's what you told us" no asshole that's what solas forced me to tell him, y'all weren't fucking there, u just all started repeating it to yourselves on ur own! I've been the most thumbs up optimist I can be this entire game! the number of times I've said "I know you've got this" is frankly brain numbing! stop making up my character traits for me 60 hours in!

[earthdeep]

so anyway. yeah this sequence does not work well if you don't have a guilt-prone rook, and the preceding game does not naturally push you to create one. the best you get is the minrathous-treviso choice, and not only is it far too bullshit to actually blame rook for, but it's barely even mentioned while in Regret Prison anyway!

anyway. shuffled around my own perception of my rook towards toxic idealism and refusing to actually grasp the absolution of death. they are currently dating a lich, don't even worry about it.

[earthdeep]

didn't think abt it going in, but by sacrificing davrin, the lighthouse has now lost both of its mascot characters. whoops.

also why the fuck is "what happened during your solas-mandated therapy session" confined to bothering taash multiple times while running final preparations? this is the sort of info given by cutscene, please. I'll even take the annoying illustrated ones! whaddya mean tearstone island got glassed?!

[earthdeep]

at least we have hezenkoss' skull for company. and uh, rook is reacting to her talking, unlike they were able to do when walking in on her and emmrich talking before.

hey look, a microcosm of veilguard's inability to set up "first times" properly

[earthdeep]

do I even want to know what happened during that fade to black to make rook wake up in their underwear in a coffin

[earthdeep]

AGAIN. IN THE COFFIN????

[earthdeep]

"[the veil] will never come down by my hand" is like the most blatantly untrustworthy way to say that, solas, and you are very lucky thedas apparently doesn't have any sort of folk story they tell to children about the dangers of contract loopholes

[earthdeep]

seriously, would love to know what went wrong with the inquisitor's voice mixing. he is so fucking quiet.

[earthdeep]

I like that rook's just been toting around that mythal statuette since they got it. the true magic is that it hasn't been smashed to bits by all the percussive damage rook's gone through.

[earthdeep]

oh my godddd after a whole game's worth of the camera accounting for rook being qunari, the inquisitor comes to make a plea to solas and it FOCUSSES ON HIS CHEST

WELCOME BACK DRAGON AGE CAMERAWORK EVERYBODY!

[earthdeep]

yay, wahoo, and other such things

[rosieofcorona]

sometimes you can tell how much someone loves dragon age by how much they hate dragon age

Fandomites will be like "the omegaverse is often used for complex explorations of gender and parenthood" and the complex explorations in question is often extreme fantasy misogyny through the compelling lens of "what if men were harmed by the patriarchy the exact same way women are and also every misogynistic ideal is somewhat true in this universe"

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.
